Today, in class I was teaching 6 year olds about the difference between short and tall, and I asked them how they could see that I was shorter than the other teacher. One of them raised their hand and said it was because I'm fatter. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML
Today, a 6th grader came up to me and told me I have the smallest breasts in the class. I'm their teacher. FML
Today, someone in my class wrote, "Erase me if you can!" at the very top of the board, as I'm always tormented about how short I am compared to everyone else. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach it. I'm the teacher. FML
Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML
Today, while at work I was reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" to me class of 5 year olds. I got near the end of the book and said "Look at the big fat caterpillar" to which one of my pupils replied "Just like you, Miss!" FML
Today, I was babysitting a three-year-old. She asked me what was wrong with my belly. I had to explain to her that I'm just fat. Twice. FML
Today, despite being in high school, I'm still shorter than the average 3rd grader. FML
Today, I found out that my classmates affectionately refer to me as "the kid whose eyes are really far apart." FML
Today, a friend asked me to come with her to the art building at school so I could pose in the stance of a figure she was drawing for her exam. I obliged and sat for the pose. When the art teacher walked by, she looked at me, then at the sketch, pointed to the legs, and said, "Make them fatter". FML
Today, my 4-year-old daughter asked me when I was going to be skinny like her daycare lady. FML

Lemonchips is actually a username I made up many years ago, after a game where we had to name two things that start with the same letters as our names, and it's therefore a completely random name that has nothing to do with my appearance. Your comment did make me laugh though!

That doesn't necessarily mean you are fat, just bigger than the other teacher, so don't worry about it :too much :)

On the brighter side you won't have to teach them the difference between thin and fat. Sorry.

A lot of people here can't tell the difference between overweight and morbodly obese...you probably don't have much free tine during school time as a teacher so you can't exersise regularly

You honestly don't need to exercise to lose weight. Weight loss is 80% diet and %20 exercise. And everyone has time to eat a little less food.

Kind of an abstract question for a first grader.

Wait a six year old understands conservation of mass? Um really this kid is smart

You're looking way to far into this, it is merely stating the differences between opposites and OP used her and her colleague as subjects for the opposites she stated.
